Talk:Counterexamples to Evolution (view source)
Revision as of 17:19, April 18, 2017
, 17:19, April 18, 2017→Possible new counterexample about viruses
:I don't really understand it either. I think what it's saying is that there is good evidence that God created viruses, but for a different, positive purpose (and became what they are as a result of sin), rather than gradually forming through evolution. I encourage you to add this evidence. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 12:36, 18 April 2017 (EDT)

::I recommend against it. I don't think the notion that all life started with bacteria is accepted by the scientific community. Biogenesis is, to say the least, not a well-understood topic. In any case, the cited article makes religious arguments, stating, for example, that viruses only started being destructive because of mankind's sin. Considering that viruses and other primitive life forms long predate mankind, this doesn't seem to be a well-founded assertion.

:::First, I don't think the article stated that evolutionists believe all life came from bacteria, unless I didn't read properly. Also, your arguments against adding this article are based on your presupposition that evolution and long ages are true (''"Considering that viruses and other primitive life forms long predate mankind..."''). This article is showing that the evolutionary view that retroviruses came from DNA mutations does not hold up. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 13:19, 18 April 2017 (EDT)
